Description

Given a set partitioned in two ways, compute a distance metric between
the partitions.

Usage

Arguments

B

B and C are vectors that represents partitions of a single set, with
each element representing a member of the set. B(i)
corresponds to C(i), and the two vectors must be the same
length. The data types of B and C must be identical and convertable to a
factor data type.

See examples below for more information.

C

See B above.

beta

Beta is the nonlinear parameter used to compute the
distance metric. See the publication referenced below for full details.

Value

The return value is a nonnegative real number representing the distance
between the two partition of the set. Full details are in the paper
referenced below.
